set INCLUDE=;C:\strawberry\c\include;C:\strawberry\perl\lib\CORE set LIB=;C:\strawberry\c\lib;C:\strawberry\perl\bin
It is pointless setting the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables. They are not used by Strawberry Perl(afaict) and MinGW certainly makes no use of them.

Mind you, they probably do no harm - unless you subsequently start using a Microsoft Compiler (Visual Studio *does* take notice of the LIB and INCLUDE variables). Even then, it might not cause any problems.

It's just a potential cause for confusion, that's all. People see that Strawberry sets those environment variables, and think it must serve a purpose. But it doesn't :-)
I removed them from my Strawberry env vars long ago, without any ill effect.

Cheers,
Rob
